My friend Sue was in her mid-fifties when she decided she wanted to be an exotic dancer. I did my best to talk her out of it, but she had friends who danced -- all younger than she -- and they were making great money, so she thought she could do it too.

"It's not for him, it's for me." That's the common response I hear whenever I ask a woman why she chose to have breast enhancement surgery. Honestly, I don't buy it, because in all my years, I have yet to meet a lesbian who has ever gotten a boob job.

In the past five years, demand for cosmetic surgery has more than doubled. According to some studies women who have undergone breast augmentation surgery are more likely to commit suicide than those who haven't. We are not talking happily ever after.
